My Favorite Sets of the Week - #12

Ruffles

What I Wouldn't Do by Bethiesue08 featuring Betsey Johnson shoes

Lady Gaga Contest! by anna_sweetheart featuring Roberto Cavalli accessories

.dontquit. by KatieJoy-NEW Sunday Best Contest featuring Juicy Couture

This week's "theme" for my favorite sets seems to be ruffles. I love that first one, I think the picture makes a really big difference, because it adds like such a vibrant energy to it, I dunno just IMO. The second one has the colors, the boots and the artist perfectly put together. I need over-the-knee-boots, just sayin'. And this third one is simpler than the rest, but I love simple, sometimes less is more and this set just demonstrates that. I love the boots!!! But I already have open toe boots, so I'm not even gonna check the price, but oh my!

My Favorite Sets of the Week - #11

Belted

Thinkin' London. by Faithfashion! featuring Aeropostale

Feelin' Fuzzy on the Inside by Faithfashion! featuring James Perse

Sarah Jessica Parker by ♫ღSonyaღ♫ featuring Christian Louboutin shoes

See? I told you that every week, there's a hidden theme within my favorite sets. I think I'm gonna start using it as a header. This week the theme is belts [on skirts apparently]. Love the chunky sweater of #1 and also the fact that is brown and black-ish, the shoulder padded blazer of #2 and the colors of #3. And those shoes, OMG! Totally amazing.

I hope everyone's feeling OK today, 9/11. I have been VERY happy since this morning, and I managed to stay that way throughout the whole day, and hopefully my night too.

Don't forget to vote on my poll. Kisses.

My Favorite Sets of the Week - #10

Hi, how are you all doing? Did you enjoy the long weekend? Did you had fun? What did you do? Anyways, I decided to post this today instead of Friday, so that everybody got a chance to see it [cause I know that nobody reads blogs on long weekends, because well, who the hell is sitting up on their computers? oh yea, ME!] I can't believe I've been doing this for 10 weeks now, WOW!

Accessorize in Black & Gold by shopaholic-until-i-die featuring Miu Miu bags

Bella - Kristen Stewart by Aserdna77 featuring Miu Miu bags

tulips by any other name would smell as sweet. by Faithfashion! featuring Marc by Marc Jacobs

All of these sets have pictures. I love it how somehow every week the sets I choose end up having some sort of cosmic connection.

I'm a big gray fan and that skirt of the first set, with that whole outfit goes perfect, and the shoes OMG. Don't you need shoes like that, cause I sure do! Moving on... Neutral colors and Kristen Stewart, enough said! I love the delicate floral print and the tall boots [I also need a pair of those]. As much as I love neutrals and earthy tones, I also love colors, and specially if they're all in one outfit so elegantly put together like the last one. I would definitely wear that one.

My Favorite Sets of the Week - #9

I really need Fall clothes, due to the fact that I have none, zero, zip, NADA. Ok, maybe I have a coat and some leggings, but that's it. Aaaanddd they're so last season, literally! UGH!! Enough venting for today, here are some really nice sets for all of you to enjoy.

[Here We Go Again] by ♬ S i e r r a ♪ featuring Matthew Williamson

The City is Your Trap Door by Fuzzybe featuring Bottega Veneta accessories

Lavender by ♥ Indi ♥ featuring Miu Miu bags

I want that dress from the first one, and don't even get me started on the shoes! What do you think about the dress? Too much? Because I think it's purrrfect! I know that last week, I used a set that had the same skirt that's on the second set, but the outfit is completely different, it's kinda romantic, but not really. Ok, I'm not making sense anymore, I know...moving on. The last set, is kinda simple, compared to what I usually post here, but I just had to I mean, it doesn't need anything else. PS: I love the boots! I love the combination of the baby blue with the caramel of the boots, and the bag is black!! Everybody knows how much I love the whole brown + black combo.

So, that's it for this week's sets. Do you have Polyvore? If so, feel free to add me! The link is on the Polyvore widget thingy on my right sidebar.

Kisses,

XOXO

My Favorite Sets of the Week - #8

First of all, I apologize for not blogging this past few days, I've been sick and it's been kinda like an on/off sickness. I'm better now, and hopefully I will stay that way! I did read all your posts, so don't worry about that!!

Some people change and some just won't; you can't take back the words you wish you'd never said. by ▪ᶰᶤᶜᶱᶱᶫᵉ▪ featuring Jimmy Choo boots

tell me why..... i' d like to be original by Angendil featuring By Malene Birger tops

september is coming by yoasienka featuring Alexander Wang tops

happy hump day :) by rluvsg featuring Repetto shoes

I am really into Fall already, even though I'm perfectly clear the season doesn't start until September 23 [thanks dad!]. So, basically I am loving all sets Fall related, all at least sets that have outfits that you can wear in the Fall or in cold weather.

There's something about the first one that just attracts me to it. Fatal attraction anyone? Naww, it must be the ruffles of the skirt, plus the gorg boots, plus Emma Watson, hello? I love her. The second one is just perfect neutral colors, oh and the shoes... oh my! In the third one, the color of the skirt and the boots, definitely made it a winner!! It is just so romantic and pratical for this imaginative "cold" weather. Have I mentioned I want something red?? I think the skirt from "September is coming" is just perfect for this red craving of mine!! I would totally wear that last outfit from "Happy Hump Day" and oh yes, I will leave you with that in mind. *Wink wink*

My Favorite Sets of the Week - #7

Just a bunch of headlines by puuterihuisku featuring Prada

Break on through by Fleur C. (Back at College) featuring Stella McCartney

Don't understimate a lady by Du1c3 featuring Monsoon bags

I love, love, LOVE combining green and brown, as well as brown with black. So that first set is tres chic. I specially like the dress and that bag, OMG! I need over the knee boots, don't you? I seriously need them. Seriously. Ok, I just reaaaally want them but c'me on, you can't blame a girl for wanting "Pretty Woman" boots. Aheem, back to the second set, I love that look, I think it's perfect for Fall. The third one screams perfection, it is like a transition outfit between summer and fall. You could take off the cardigan and still look summer perfect. The shoes, I don't care too much about, but that sequin bag is calling my name.

Hope you all have a great weekend.
XOXO

My Favorite Sets of the Week - #6

Morning Rituals Contest!:) by ~mellow (away for holiday) featuring Betsey Johnson shoes

Homecoming by Fleur C. (Back at College) featuring Lanvin

Untitled by dina ♥ polyvore featuring Rebecca Taylor

I am loving the top with the vest and the bag, can you tell? Good thing the top is affordable because the bag is so NOT! I am really into shorts, especially this styles, I would wear all of these three outfits. I mean who wouldn't right? Ok, I'm gonna go shake it like a pom pom now, bye.



PS: Remember to vote on my poll, pretty pretty please!!!

My Favorite Sets of the Week - #5

Lets share a tic tac by puuterihuisku featuring Christian Dior

Trust............by yumy by Yumy (Plz join in my new group) featuring Yves Saint Laurent shoes

Today is only the beginning, it is not the end. by » к я ι ϟ т у « featuring Jimmy Choo

Pure amazingness, that's what these sets are all about. I would definitely wear all three outfits on them, specially that second one by Yumy there. Love the darkness of the first one, that purse is screaming my name, she needs me. The color palette of "Today is only the beginning..." is very springy/summery yet, I would wear that all the way into Fall. Gotta love that grey cardigan. This is pure inspiration for me. Another week and I'm still amazed at all the good sets out there.

My Favorite Sets of the Week - #4

Ok, I can't take it anymore! I cannot just choose one, so that's why this is now called My Favorite sets of the Week, instead of just set. No more talking, here they are.
 
Fairy tales never came true... by yelly♥ featuring 1928 jewelry

Guess I'm not the fighting kind by yelly♥ featuring Antik Batik shoes
Green Day by snowbell featuring Bottega Veneta bags
Untitled by KETSKA featuring Matthew Williamson

I know that the first two have the same color palette more or less, also that they're both from the same person but I really liked them both, I think that what yelly did on the second set [from the top] with the skirt and the blazer was amazing.

"Green Day" is completely captivating, all the different shades of green, even though they're all dark, hunter green makes the set fabulous, or is it because green is one of my favorite colors, hmm. As for the last one, what can I say, I would just wear that right now! The shoes are to die for, and just the mixture of gray and brown is something I cannot resist.

Good job ladies!

My Favorite Set of the Week - #3

As soon as I saw this set, I knew it was going to end up here. I love colors, and these are just great. Elizabeth did a great job with the combination. I also like that it's a very simple and casual outfit, jeans, flats and a cute top basically. Of course with the proper accessories and the right colors, which makes the set fabulous.

My Favorite Set of the Week - #2

I love this set, even the title of it. The colors, the shoes, the top, it's really inspiring? Aren't u inspired? Oh well, it might just be me. It was do hard choosing just one for the entire week, that I might have to start doing this on a daily basis.

Designer Interview - eNTROPY

Interview with designer Guillermo Cummings for the line eNTROPY.

I love finding new designers, and seeing what they're creating and learning how they're getting inspired. That's why we now have Designer Interview. I will be interviewing amateur designers and giving YOU the scoop on what they're doing and what's new. Here we have Guillermo Cummings for the line eNTROPY.

Since when have you been interested in creating/designing?

Well to be honest I never saw myself as a designer till a few months ago. I was always interested in illustration, comic book art and storyboarding. One day out of the blue I put up a random design for my fraternity and sister sorority. Suddenly almost everyone wanted a shirt out of it. I then started doing some small designs for other fraternities and sororities, usually the basics: the 3 Greek letters in the front and a catchy logo in the back. Eventually I got tired of that and inspired by modern t-shirts usually seen from Volcom, Quicksilver, Billabong etc. I decided to try something new and designed a modern looking design for my fraternity, after that people suggested I try my own designs. After a stressing search for a logo and name I decided on Entropy, and the rest is history.

How (and where) did you learn to design?

Well once again, I was always more intro illustration than actual design, so credit I guess has to go to my late uncle Amadeo Pino. He was an arquitect here in Puerto Rico, and he taught me the basic elements of drawing, and also my years at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale where I learned how to work with composition and color theory.

Where do you find your inspiration?

I usually just put up the blank canvas and just free style it but once in a while usually when it comes to fraternity and sorority designs I use what I know of the organizations, and manipulate somethings to make them work. Usually colors or symbols they are known for. Also good friends who give me some critiques help a lot, as I usually see it one way, and others see it another.

Where do you want to go with this?

I would love for Entropy to become a top clothing line in the future, and mentioned in the same breath as Volcom, Quicksilver, Billabong, etc. Especially coming out of Puerto Rico, because we have such a strong surfing, and skating culture that is really untapped when it comes to local clothing lines. Globally it would take sometime but for now becoming well known locally is my main goal. I'd also love for people to see the designs as art just as they see it as fashion. Deep down I'm an artist not a fashion guy, this is all new to me and it came out of the blue. Also, while I may be starting out with shirts, the plan is to further down the line (soon but when possible) expand to pants, swimsuits, dresses, caps, hoodies, jackets and every apparel you can imagine.

Have you had any challenges while pursuing your goals so far?

Oh of course, just like with any venture there will be hurdles. The first one was the automatic fear if the designs were good, especially the female ones but luckily they all got 90% good feedback. Another one, especially in the economic crisis we are dealing with it is capital but slowly that is fading away. But the major challenge is the unknown, what will happen when this hits the streets, will it become profitable? Will it just be a one hit wonder? Will I be able to adapt to the ever changing styles? It's a risk but life is boring if you don't take those risks.

Do you have any advice for aspiring designers out there?

Ask for critiques, some artist hate having the work criticized especially from people who aren't artists but when you ask the people you're marketing too, its always good to get some feedback. While you may not agree, always remember we see the art/design/piece differently than anyone else does and usually a second opinion let's you see things you normally wouldn't. In the end though trust your instincts, we where born with them for a reason.
As told to Ambar for Ambar's Thoughts.

Here are some of my favorite designs from eNTROPY.

I particularly love this cute tank top.

My Favorite Set of the Week - #1

This is a totally NEW section on my blog, the title is pretty self-explanatory, I will be posting my favorite Polyvore set for that week.

This week I found a set by Phoenix... it's called "GO TO THE TROPICS". It really makes me wish I was there and wearing exactly that! What first caught my attention was the vibrant colors of the outfit, and the picture in the background. I think it's brilliant, great set friend.
